After reading your post, i reflect on my reading journey as well.
You definitely read A LOT!
I do think one's early worldview and character was founded by materials they read in young age. And then later molded by the continuous reading of choice.
My childhood read was Wu Xia collection of my dad, classic Chinese literatures, stories about legends and heroes, manga my brothers borrow...
When I entered high school, library became my favorite hanging spot during recess. I was a librarian, everyday after quick snack I would hang around library even when I was off-duty. During that time I started to read more English books, Harry Potter was new back then, and I discovered Narnia before the movie came out.
I read less during Uni time, mainly there wasn't fun books in my Uni, and books are pricey for my student allowance. Reading was on and off, and I was less passionate in reading until last year, when I was on a solo trip I found joy in reading again.
HOLD ON, how did I miss this?! No notifications or anything.. sigh. You have a vast reading collection! And wow you’re a librarian? That’s so cool! 😍 Must be amazing being around books all the time (still not sure how I ended up became a prefect, we couldn’t do both at the same time lol).
HP was super popular in my time too. And a solo trip?? Nice!! Where did you travel to? Oh how I miss those travel itch. Some of the travel books I shared might be perfect for your next adventures.
